Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1436: Qiao Wei’s Change

Editor: Henyee Translations

“It was my fault in the past. We grew up in the same courtyard, and I never took the time to know you. Finally, I have the chance to spend time with you, my sister. I’m determined to foster a good relationship with you and make up for what I missed in the past!”

A flash of intensity passed through Qiao Wei’s eyes, as if she wanted to tear Qiao Xuan to shreds.

Qiao Xuan maintained her smile. “Miss Qiao, I’m not sure what you’re referring to. While we share the same surname, I have no connection to you. Please don’t flatter yourself by calling me your sister. We are not acquainted. You can address me as Madame Shao.”

Qiao Wei shot an angry, cold smile at Qiao Xuan before leaving abruptly.

Qiao Xuan watched her departing figure for a moment, her thoughts deepening.

Lixia and Liqiu were equally taken aback.

“Madam, I’m concerned that Miss Qiao has ulterior motives. I wonder what she’s planning,” Lixia said.

“It’s quite peculiar! How did she manage to sneak in? Should I inquire about it?” Liqiu asked.

Qiao Xuan gave them a meaningful look. “Avoid any encounters with her, and refrain from engaging in conflicts. If you sense anything amiss or observe any unusual behavior, report it to me.”

To emphasize the seriousness of the situation, Qiao Xuan added, “Qiao Wei has changed significantly from before. If I had ridiculed and contradicted her like this in the past, she would have lashed out and scolded me. Yet today, she didn’t react.”

“Furthermore, her maid appears highly unusual. She doesn’t resemble an ordinary servant. It’s possible someone provided her with that position. The fact that Qiao Wei managed to infiltrate the wedding procession suggests this was arranged by someone.”

“They clearly harbor ill intentions.”

It was likely the Fourth Prince’s faction, as no one else would have bothered her and Shao Yunduan in the midst of the Qiao Family’s Miss.

Lixia and Liqiu’s expressions shifted, and they nodded in agreement.

Before long, Shao Yunduan returned.

Having not yet eaten, Qiao Xuan instructed Lixia and Liqiu to retrieve food from the kitchen.

While Shao Yunduan was eating, Qiao Xuan greeted him with a smile. “If I had known you’d return so quickly, I would’ve waited for you!”

Shao Yunduan responded, “I’ve arranged things for today, and they’ll manage their own tasks tomorrow, so I won’t have to be concerned. I can be with my wife early every day!”

After their meal, Shao Yunduan said, “I have something to discuss with you.”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “What a coincidence, I have something to share as well. It’s possible we’re discussing the same matter!”

Shao Yunduan appeared surprised and asked tentatively, “Have you encountered Qiao Wei?”

Indeed, it was about her.

Qiao Xuan sneered. “She came with a purpose and lectured me on sisterhood.”

Shao Yunduan grew frustrated. “She was added by the Ministry of Rites, and I learned about it later. I don’t believe the Ministry of Rites would go out of their way to annoy us. It’s likely the Fourth Prince and the Tian Family behind this. Wifey, you must have thought the same, right?”

Qiao Xuan nodded. “Qiao Wei has changed significantly. She’s become much more cunning and harbors even greater resentment toward me. I’m just curious about what she intends to do with so many people in the wedding party.”

Shao Yunduan sneered. “Who knows what she’s up to? Perhaps, even if she doesn’t take any action, she can still disgust us.”

Qiao Xuan pursed her lips. “She has an exaggerated sense of self-importance!”
